In this world of competitiveness it is easy to fall into the trap of winner v. loser. I felt that forgiving someone was admitting that what they did was ok. I was one that had to make it known that I am right and you are wrong. This strategy was not particularly successful with my sister, especially because she was a stubborn as me. I soon realized that it took too much energy to walk around upset over petty things, even if I wasn't at fault (my calculating self). The lesson that popped out while reading these chapters illustrated that. Recognizing things as the way they are does not mean you are accepting of the situation; you just look at the situation for what it is. I truly appreciated the part on distinguishing downward spiral conversations and conversations of possibility.
